Huawei B683 Unlocked, But not able to Configure the Profile and APN Settings

Huawei B683 Wi-Fi routers are very famous around the world, and it can be unlocked using the correct unlock code. I have unlocked various devices of B683, but after the unlock, some users are not able to configure the profile with APN settings, as its grayed (not highlighted or blocked by the network provider).

Developer has edited the Original Huawei B683 router firmware HTML file and packed it in a .exe file (Downloadable file at the end of the post). After the update from the Original Huawei B683 router firmware, you can easily configure the profile, as shared screenshot above.

I have Viva Bahrain Huawei B683 3G Router. I brought it to India, I tried to follow the procedure to update the firmware, so that I can permanently use in India without any carrier barriers. When I run FMC update tool, it shows the current and upgrade version, but upgrade button disabled. Please let me know how can sort out the same. When I do unlock, also unlock button is disabled in FMC unlock tool.
